. DRAWING:
You may think that Drawing belongs to realistic art. And you may also think that this kind of creative visual tendency belongs to one- of- a- kind artists.
Well.. - You would be wrong on both ideas!
Creative Drawing should be everyone´s territory.
Because it has to do with our mind.
And our emotions.
It´s the way we connect to the world outside: the objects, and animals, and plants, and absolutelly Everything that we see and touches our hearts.
- If we are Humans - we Draw. It´s as simple as that.
The Black & White aesthetics continues to be very, very strong in Art History, and keeps producing incredible artworks.
Remember that these paperart works have the maximum colour contrast: black ink on pure white paper.
. This Creative B&W Drawing course is divided in 4 parts:
Wrong ideas beginner artists have (copy reality or the pencil and rubber kind of drawing, for instance);
Art history and Comic book masters (Corto Maltese by Hugo Pratt, for example);
Human figures and abstract symbols (and how to merge these two visual elements);
Technique - visual composition (how to achieve your own unique creative voice and personal style).
. And each 4 parts of this course has a different pratical project:
Chaotic line and human figure;
Make a perspective
Draw a mother and son
Create a simple but complete scene: figures, symbols and background
It intends to suggest new ways of creating highly engaging and interesting works with simple elements that most people think don´t belong to visual arts: lines, patterns, letters, numbers, signs...
A brave new world of emotions is waiting for you.
Now you will be able to create another Reality - Yours!
